No, not a misprint, but an article I found from 2003 - the BBC offering its take on the composition of the winning team. And most amusing it is too.
My point? This aptly illustrates how pundits can get things hopelessly wrong and how players with 'potential' don't always live up to expectation.
TBH, I don't even remember Tonge.

That is hilarious. It reads like a spoof article.
"England will have so much talent up front it will be embarrassing, and other teams may concede games before kick-off to avoid the humiliation on the pitch. "
I bet they're glad they didn't now.

"Chris Kirkland, 21 now, will be the world's finest goalkeeper by 2008."
"Rio and Anton Ferdinand will form the bedrock of Shearer's defence."
"The likes of Liverpool's Neil Mellor, Aston Villa's Darius Vassell, Leeds' James Milner and West Ham's Jermaine Defoe will all be in the prime of their careers."
Hubris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That's an outstanding read.
The bit about Kirkland being the worlds finest by 2008 is amazing. Neil Mellor hahaha, in 2008 he was playing for Preston.
The formation is almost as hilarious.
"Rio and Anton Ferdinand will form the bedrock of Shearer's defence."
LMAO!!
All that article needed was "Lawro Predicts..." at the top and it would've been untouchable.
Amazing stuff.
Dare I ask what happened to the Nostradamus-esque author Dan Warren?
in 2008 went and collected the Pulitzer Prize? or his Job-seeker's allowance? hmmmm

Have to ask. You Avatar I have just noticed exactly what it is.
If thats not Nostradamus working his magic I dont know what is.
The Fat Lady has been clearing her throat (regarding the Euro) for some time now. Problem is, I don't think even Nostradamus would know what happens next if it all go tits up.

Another priceless contribution - this time from delusional fans.
As tasters, I submit the following.
''David Bentley of Arsenal is one to watch. A brilliant all-round player and an entertainer as well. A long term replacement for Bergkamp and a future England regular. Watch this space!
Matthew Armitage, England ''
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Jermaine Jenas.
I'm sure that everybody who saw his performance in the San Siro, will agree that the lad is special and will be a lynchpin to future England teams.
